Yes, you DO have a connection with Royalty where crystals and crystal healing
is concerned. And not only with Royalty but with all the crowned heads of
Europe together! Now isn’t that something. Yes, you have a historical
connection with Kings and Emperors, Monarchs and Popes. From the Borgias to the
Habsburgs… From Napoleon to the Czars. From Queen Victoria to our very own Elizabeth
herself! But how can this be true I hear
you saying? Well it is. You have a great thing in common. Those Kings and
Emperors often possessing it even more powerfully than you! Indeed, they were
perhaps the first to recognise its Spirit. What I wish to call the healing
character of crystals, or more deeply perhaps, the crystal imperative.
Let me start at the beginning. Try and make
it all simple so that you will understand! What is it that all the illustrious
people mentioned above loved and still love today, just as much as so many of
you who are into crystals and crystal healing love? What is it that you all
have in common? Well SURPRISE, you all share the same love of crystals. It’s
absolutely true! I mean, they all have their favourites just like you have
yours. They got and still get the same pleasure in them, the same excitement,
just like you do.
Let’s look at the situation in detail. They
love Diamonds, Emeralds, Sapphires and Rubies just as much as you love Rose
Quartz and Amethyst. They find healing properties in their crystals and
minerals such as Lapis Lazuli just as much as you find the same healing powers
in Sugilite, Moldavite and Apophylite. Indeed,
as I have recently shown, rulers like the Habsburgs may have understood and
benefited from the same healing qualities of Sugilite placed in the Imperial
Crown of the Holy Roman Emperor they wore for ceremonial occasions just as much
you do wearing it in a much coveted pendant. It was just the same for these
hereditary rulers as it is for crystal healing adepts and believers today! And
to take the view a step further, Moldavite a precious green crystal with
undoubted healing qualities was worn by the medieval rulers of Bohemia and
Moravia who associated it with the Holy Grail. It was even earlier, since
ancient times, associated with good fortune and fertility. You may wear it
today, if you’re lucky to get hold of any, because of its exceptionally high
vibration which clears blockages and aligns the chakras into a harmonious whole
and use it to transfer in your journeys between lives, going back into those of
your past and onwards into the future, and likewise, it helps sensitive people
deal with suffering and their emotions. An interest in these spiritual
qualities, along with those of Sugilite, you would undoubtedly share with some
of eminent persons mentioned above.
However, apart from such important
connections, of which many more undoubtedly exist, there can be no denying that
all these crowned heads and rulers either had a passion for their own favourite
crystal or perhaps even more than one. The monarchs and senior clergy of Spain
for example, felt a very real spiritual affinity with emeralds which they
obtained from various places in South and Central America. The British monarchy
on the other hand had a great fondness for diamonds and sapphires collected specially
for them from colonial territories such as South Africa, Burma and India. They
certainly had a passion for those huge South African diamonds! However it was not so much a case of where
these crystals came from, more their spiritual rapport with them. They gave the
same pleasure, promoted the same feeling of spiritual wellbeing for Queen
Victoria and the monarchs who followed her as the healing, calming, loving,
spiritual power of Rose Quartz does today for the many millions of adepts and
followers who believe in crystal healing. Why should the spiritually healing
effect of diamonds on Queen Victoria, one may ask, be any different to the specific
healing effect say of Rose Quartz on the many who believe in its spiritual
capacity today? Is it not all part of the same thing. Just because it’s
diamonds on the one hand and quartz on the other really shouldn’t make any
difference. I mean, should we cynically, snobbishly censor someone’s passion
just because they are a Queen or an Empress and accept it in a Commoner, an
actress like Liz Taylor whose fondness for diamonds was well known?
The problem lies with all the many cynics
out there who might want to turn these higher spiritual questions into issues
of value rather than accept that the spiritual confluence of healing runs with
the same flow through everyone, no matter who they are. It is the healing
capacity of crystals themselves that is the universal spiritual force that belongs
to us all, that unites us, binds us into the one universal spiritual family. Why
then politicize crystal healing when this power ultimately belongs to the
higher realms of spiritual energy? Napoleon
may have loved rubies and the Borgias, sapphires, but is the healing
relationship between them and their crystals any different to those that
connect so many of us today to Apophyllite or Rose Quartz? We are entitled to
ask this question now that this healing connection is so much better understood
in our time when crystal healing has become as much a science as an art.
We know so much more today and can look
back on the great Renaissance Popes, the Habsburgs, the later Crowned Heads of
Europe from the spiritual wisdom of crystal healing in modern times. And taking
it much further back why was Lapis Lazuli so beloved of the pharaohs? For one
thing it is a protective stone that contacts spirit guardians, facilitates
spiritual journeying and stimulates personal and spiritual power. This confirms
everything we know about the pharaohs themselves, especially their relationship
to the spiritual world after death and their journeying through it. Many were
buried with their lapis lazuli treasures, their mummified casts bright with the
dye from the stone. Is our wisdom today therefore any greater than theirs?
Perhaps only in character.
In summary then it is clear that the great
and the good of history no matter who they were also had their own personal
affinity for crystals just as much as the many numberless folk of today. A
correspondence of energy levels between crystals and kings just as much as the
correspondence of energy levels between crystals and the great multitude of men
and women who make up our world. Rose Quartz and Amethyst, Onyx and Obsidian have
healing qualities and provide energy levels only for those who may need them
and the same may be said for crystal forms such as Diamond, Ruby and Emerald,
both the latter to be found as Beryl and Zoisite. Statistically it is
understood that these have greater spiritual efficacy for those whose custom is
to rule while the spiritual energy of Rose Quartz, for example, has a residual
empathy for those involved in all the contradictions and problems of life. For
the many rather than the few. That one set of crystals is rare and expensive
and therefore available only to the few who can afford them is misleading. Even
if they were available to the many it would not
necessarily mean that they might be effective. On the contrary, the natural
order of things would dictate otherwise, or else why would the rich and the
powerful love and seek to possess only the most precious and expensive crystals.
Answer, because only these work for them, not the more common semi-precious
stuff so beloved of the crystal healing fraternity! In any case, these days it
is the many who strive to possess the rare and precious Sugilite, those large
brilliantly violet pieces which are beyond the dreams of princes.
This then is the Crystal Imperative. To
strive for the healing energies to which we belong. To reach the converging
spiritual confluence between our own personal need and the crystalline
structures before us. And that is the task of crystal healing. To understand
that convergence and fulfill it in all of us. It is, indeed, a CRYSTAL
IMPERATIVE. Think of that when you consider buying a crystal!
